Pupils at the Lowton Road school achieved a 10 per cent increase on last years English results with 64 per cent of students getting a C or above in Maths and English and 83 per cent getting an A* to C grade.

Amongst other top headlines 96 per cent of pupils received an A* to C in both Mathematics and English.

Particular mention should go to Sean Cross who achieved the top results at GCSE with 5 A*, 4 A and 1 B grade and will be returning to St. Mary's to continue his studies at A Level.

A high achiever, who got six A*s, an A, a B and a C, Matt Morris, said although he was "doubting himself" he is going to be able to go to Hills Road Sixth Form College to study his A levels next year.

At the school, 85 per cent of pupils performed better than expected in English compared with nationally past year (73 per cent).

Overall, 55% of mainstream pupils earned five A* to C grades. A fifth of the girls achieved 8 A* grades or higher with one girl gaining 13 A* grades and seven girls achieving 11* or more A* grades. They have worked very hard and deserve these excellent grades.
